Baguio; The Journey of a Dreamer
Baguio City Philippines is a mountain town of Luzon called the "City of Pines". It is popular because of its cool temperature and a wonderful nature's view that you may experience.
As a daughter of a farmer, since young I dreamed to go there. This place is one of my biggest Dreamland I always prayed to God.
August 28, 2019, I receive an Office invitation from one of the biggest Leadership Training Organization of the Philippines named; Philippine Association of Campus Student Advisers INC. (PACSA).
Evening that day after I received the invitation, I open it and read. I'm in the middle of reading the letter when I read... "Philippine Association of Campus Student Advisers INC. will conduct the 3rd PACSA International Conference on Nov. 24-29, 2019 at Baguio City Philippines..." Oh Wow! This thought never left my mind starting that day.
After reading the invitation I inform our Adviser about this and share it to other Officers.
Madam said, it is required and necessary for me to join the Leadership Training as the President of our Campus.
Yah, even it's not necessary I always wanted to be there but half of my mind keep on telling me , "where am I going to get my allowance? Mama can't finance me in this".
Many days passed and I'm still thinking of it and imagining myself experiencing the Baguio Cool and Fresh air, and going the strawberry farm there and my visit my top 1 dream School PMA.
One I call for a meeting and talk to my Co-officers about this and ask them if they're willing to go there, some of them responses that they want to go. I feel envy to them, co'z I know, they parents had the money to give them. But, I understand our life.
I somehow, tried to convince Mama too. But my Mama told me, "How? If I were be the one to ask, I wanted it too for you. But how? Where did we're going to get your money for allowance?" I feel sad, Mama is right, where did I going to get money?
But I still include my name on the list as what our Adviser ordered. But, I still don't know what to do and where to go and ask for help.
Almost one and a half month before the Training our School Student Coordinator wonder and ask me;
"Who will be joining in your Organization?"
"Sir, VP will join"
"How about you?"
"Maybe I can't Sir, it's complicated"
"What? It's not you can do it. You know what? If really wanted to get something, pursue finding other options, not one, not twice, not trice, but think as many way as you can. Why don't you try to contact your cousins? Ask them for a donor. I'm sure it will not be empty that they're really isn't"
Usually it's not my personality to ask help to other even in my hardest days in terms of financial to my own cousin and even to others. But I have no choice but to do this for my dream. So, i grab a sheet of paper and listed the possible person that I can ask for a help and make a letter to them.
But, something is bothering me, I need someone that will confirm to me that she/he will send help to me.
So I try to give letter to the Mayor of our town, to the 3 Congressman of our Province,to the Governor, to Lolo Badung the engineer owner of my boarding house in where I stay when I was in senior High school. I gave also a letter from the Office of the Municipal Councilors, representative's and of course to my relatives. Week after I sent to them my sponsorship letter, only 5 (out 36) of them responses; Lolo Badung, our Province 2nd district Congressman, our provincial Governor, one of my cousins, and one of our municipal Councilor.
I'm so happy that day, because now, I've realized that there are still people who is always willing to help no matter what. And I will always thank those people and always pray for their good health and long life.
Week before we left, 2 out of 5 texted me and said, "Miss, you have to claim your money now in our Office, 9:00 AM today". And it's a "YES! Successful!" This is it, see you soon Baguio.
Days come and pass.
It's now November 23,2019. "Yehey! This is it! Thanks God for granting my wish and Thank you Mama for supporting me even it's not our character to seek help to others in terms Financial though we're not rich, we just have a very deep ashame of seeking help"
But don't you know, night before we left I couldn't sleep well because of my too much excitement. HAHA Lols. But it's natural for me not to feel asleep when I'm excited to go for a event or a trip.
9:30 AM we left home, 11:00 AM we eat our lunch at Jolibee and 12:00 noon, when I and Mama arrived to the area in which our School Bus will fetch us.
Note: Mama just delivered me there to make sure of my safe trip. That's my mother, she's always a supportive and a loving mother of us.
1:30 PM we left our Province and we're on the way to Baguio now.
PS: Wait for the Part 2
Lesson I've learned from it: When you want something (a thing that will help you grow and will never affect to someone) pursue it, achieve no matter what. Because in every problem there is always a solution. In order for you to succeed in your goal, be strong and face all the struggles that you may suffer no matter what will happen next. Because success will never ba a success if you will do nothing. Success is always depends on you.
Calming Myself in a Stressful Situation and How to do it
Getting worry and upset is normal and it's part of our that there are things that will eventually tempt us to get angry and anxious. But, being able to calm down in the moment that your getting upset and worry is often easier said than done. When it happen that anxiety or anger takes over, and you can't calm down yourself? What will you do?
Here is the reason why I share this experience of mine last day. And I hope you enjoy reading this and learn from it.
I'm a kind of person that is easy to be upset for many things. I'm get easily angered person even in a small thing. I don't want also to give instructions unlimitedly or answering questions that is common sense, because it irritates me that much.
So, here's the story.
I'm a student leader in our Campus and I'm in a highest position, which is the President. Hm, in my character, I don't how does it happened. HAHA well, here's the scenario that day.
October 20(not the exact date). When it's already evening and I'm still busy doing my Academic Activities, when someone message me on my messenger and asking me "Is the President's of all lower Organization will still be signing in Clearance before you sign it?" I responded to her "No. I just need your Proof of payment coming from the listed Organization in which you belong and I'll sign" with a genuine smiley emoji. And she replied to me "Okay". After a few minutes, she message me again "Are you the President?"
It's a long day I'm tired. Grr!. I got shock, like, OMG! All this time after you ask me that kind of question you have no idea that I'm the President?! I got irritated because I expected that after she asked me that question, she already know that I'm the President. Because of course, who do think can understand and answer your question if you ask the Students that is not in position to answer it? Right? I'm just confused, how come that she come up from that question and ask me without a knowledge that I'm the President of the Mother Organization in our Campus. It's a very disappointing in my part, but somehow I need to keep come and relax.
So, how did I calm down in this day?
Here are some Strategies that I applied for me to be able to calm down in an anxious and anger feeling:
**1.) Take a Deep Breathe and Smile.**
When your anxious or angry you can take a deep breathe for you to calm down. Breathing is the number one and most effective technique for reducing anger and anxiety quickly. Because your muscles sends a message to your brain a positive feedback to choice between "fight-or flight" response. Practicing this technique will help you getting out of the danger cause by your anxious and anger.
**2. Admit that you’re anxious or angry.**
When things is not worthy to keep silent, break that silent and allow yourself to speak out that you're angry or anxious-like shouting it to a free and peaceful place like in a mountain or on rough top. When you already done expressing what you feel about something, your anxiety and anger now, will start to decrease.
**3. Challenge your thoughts.**
Having irrational thoughts is part of anxious and anger, and it always create a non-sense feeling.
If you had only the questions negative "What if" that appears in your thoughts, try to balance it using the positive "What if" questions too. And take a look in the advantages that may happen next.
**4. Release the anxiety or anger and Change your Focus.**
Engaging in some physical activity will help you calm down and feel better like walking or running out of the place that makes you upset or anxious.
Running or going out of the room in where you get upset, can make you forget the things that happen on it and makes you calm down and think positively.
But, avoid physical activity that includes the expression of anger, such as punching the wall or throwing an objects. It may result to increase feelings of anger and it can cause a trouble.
**5. Visualize yourself calm**.
This technique is next to the breathing technique, after taking a few deep breaths, close your eyes and imagine yourself working out the stressful and anxiety-causing moment by staying calm and focused.
Doing this imagination of yourself in which you stay calm in situation of anger, do it also when you feel anxious for you to stay calm too.
**6. Think it through.**
When we are anxious or angry, we become more focused on the cause why we get upset or anxious of something, and the rational thought will lead to us.
Do a mantras list that will guide and lead your mind to a positive response for you to get calm.
**7. Listen to a music or watch a funny videos and Relax your Body.**
The next time you feel your anxiety is being level up, get your headphones, lie down on the floor with your arms out by your side and listen to your favorite song or watch a funny videos. Listening to music can have a very calming effect on your body and mind. And watching funny videos will help your brain to forget the things that happen and turn back your good mood. Practicing progressive muscle relaxation can help you calm down and center yourself.
**10. Write it down.**
If you’re too angry or anxious grab your journal and talk to it. Writing helps you get negative thoughts out of your head.
**11.) Get some fresh air.**
A high temperature and air circulation in a room can increase your anxiety or anger. If you’re feeling tense and the space you’re in is hot and stuffy, this could trigger a panic attack. So go outside of it and get some cool, clean and fresh air to breathe on and it will help you to calm down.
Changing that scenery or going out of the place can sometimes interrupt your anxious or angry thought process.
**12. Fuel your Body.**
If you’re hungry or not properly hydrated, all of this techniques won't work. So go to your food storage and get some food to eat and water to drink to refuel yourself and apply those techniques.

When your about to start your Vlog
Life is not measured by the numbers of breaths we take, but by the numbers that takes our breath away.
September 30,2020; 12:00 PM. It was sunny afternoon until we already done eating our lunch. That day was a very memorable day I have in my life. Why? Read this until the end.
For a long time that I was thinking to have a YouTube Channel, here I am still thinking of what content should I do. I’m thinking for an educational Vlog but a quite entertaining and funny to my viewers.
Then one day one of my Professor in my major subject, give us a laboratory exercise that we (my classmates) should do. And that was presenting by means of video on how to perform a “Post-harvest handling” to a certain crop that we chosen. So, I decided to choose “Calamansi” since it is the only crop that I know that is available in our area (Well, I’m staying in a Dormitory of our school, that why it’s too hard for me to find other resources to comply to my said task that was given to us by our Professor).
So, here’s the story behind my memorable day.
After I eat my lunch that day, I was now thinking to do my project. And then, I also thought, why not I try also to start my Vlog? Hm. So, I ask my best friend if she can help me to take a video for my project together with my Vlog, which is having a same content, and she said yes, she is.
First, we decided to put a little bit makeup (just to make me comfortable in front of the Camera) and take first a photo that was supposed to be just for my Vlog's thumbnail.
But, because of our fascination in taking a photo of us we don’t even recognize the time that we already consumed in taking a picture. We’re about to forget the purpose why we dress up.
2:36 PM. There it comes the rain. So, after putting up makeup, lipstick and etc. in our face we end up to “SLEEPING” after we take hundreds of photos.
4:45 PM my, best friend ask me, “Mhegz, are still going to take your Vlog today?” I answered it “Hm. Let me think of it” then fall asleep again.
5:00 PM that day, “Mhegz, let’s go! The rain stop, stand up there and we’re going to Nursery to take your Vlog, we’re running out of time it’s about to evening” So, I have nothing to do, but to stand up and put again some makeup in my face.
When we are already at the area, I feel so nervous co's it’s my first time making a video. But I still keep calm. Few minutes after we arrive at the area my best friend told me, to start the shoot. First attempt, it’s a failed. Why? I just laugh and laugh and laugh. Because I feel I was look “EW!” HAHA Second attempt, it’s a failed again, third? Failed. Until, my best friend decided to just take a video, weather it’s good or bad.
After we decided to do it, I also thought that I should do my best to act normal as I am in front of Camera so, I do it. But, time to time, I can’t control myself not to laugh. Why? Because I feel, I do look crazy, because my best friend keep on laughing while she’s taking me a video. And not until I climbed the three of Calamansi just to pick up some even it's too, hard for me to do it. Yes! I’m serious I climbed like a monkey for the video.
Hours pass by and it’s getting dim in our surrounding and we hurry up co'z it’s already evening. After we go back in our dormitory I feel so tired, maybe because of climbing the three or it’s because I laugh unlimitedly in an couple of hours.
Minutes pass after we go back, I feel sleepy so I decided to sleep again. When I woke up again, I try to see the videos that we take that day. And it was so funny, co's it contains many interruptions, laugh, though it's my natural behavior but I feel I'm too hipper in this video and I look crazy on it. And then I'm thinking now, could this video fit to my project? Hm. I don’t think so, co's as far as I observe it will just fall into my Vlog. But, this was so complicated, because of all my mistakes. Hays.
Hey, guy’s I shared this with you just to remind you that if you are planning also to make a videos, make sure that your ready for so many times of taking it. Co'z it’s too hard to get off all of your weird thoughts and feeling when your in front of the Camera, you will feel to laugh even it's not funny. And also, don’t take your best friend as your camera man, because you will just make laugh and laugh and laugh, co'z their face will be look like a Clown on your eyes it is not just weird but it will be also funny like your watching funny videos. CAN'T DETERMINE.HAHA lol.
